The man with no name (1)
Congratulations to Mark Webber for his win at the Monaco Grand Prix last weekend. Hope you all enjoyed the party.
What's new?
It's all change on the Monaco food scene. Two snack bars have added home delivery to their services, Au Bebe Joufflu in the old town, and Snack Meghi, round the corner from Lo Sfizio. In Condamine, work on the corner restaurant that used to be Le Santa Cruz is nearing completion and it should be opening shortly under the name Address Restaurant.
Several new chefs have settled in and reviewed their establishment's menus, including Damien Leroux at Ducasse's Trattoria, Philippe Joannès at the Fairmont Monte Carlo and Paolo Sari at Elsa, Monte Carlo Beach's restaurant. Flavio Bratore's Cipriani Monte Carlo has quietly opened its doors, while Stars n Bars has just launched its new restaurant in Dubai.
It'll be ages before we get round to tasting all the new menus, so as ever, please let us know what you think if you visit before us.
